The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
In the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is fruitful
source OF insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs Of it's power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonlan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the.
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
fish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and In
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-headacbe
In the morning; persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss of appetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker EGtract of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already DONE This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system

Passing along the streets a few days since
we met a young man, resident of this vii
lage, who appeared to be sadly afflicted with
the blind staggers. At any rate the widest
walk in town was too narrow for his wavering
footsteps Most tradesmen, when they turn
out finished job, are proud of it, We doubt
if any saloon-keeper would be anxious to
proclaim to the world that he was the author
of that job of drunkenness, and yet il was
finished piece of workmanship of it's kind.
The only trouble about it is that it was of q
very undesirable kind.
